Heartbeat

lying there
that day
my ear
to your ribs,
I could hear
the sweet sounds
of your heart
beating.
I could feel
your life
echo
through me
and it proved
that beyond
my fears
we can be
so much more
than I'd planned.
and tonight,
when you
looked up and me
your ear to
my ribs
and said,
"I can hear your
heart beat."
I knew exactly
what you meant.
